It’s wait and see on Levis’ ankle as the Titans deal with their earliest elimination under Vrabel

Tennessee also missed the playoffs in Vrabel’s debut season with a berth on the line in the regular-season finale. “We understand that Derrick’s got a certain running style and great skill set,” Vrabel said.
